Been walking on a tightrope, juggling high hopes and reality
Just trying not to mess up
tryna keep my head up, fighting gravity
I can't outrun growing up, I still feel like a kid

Quick to judge the ones we love
Sometimes I forget

It's your first time on Earth too
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
It's just pain that you were passing down
I'm older, and I see it now
It's your first time on Earth too

Watch bottles in the cabinet
tryna kill a habit that was killing you
Back then, I didn't get that you gave me
the best that you knew how to do
You were far from done growing up when you had a kid

Quick to judge the ones we love
Sometimes I forget

It's your first time on Earth too
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
It's just pain that you were passing down
I'm older, and I see it now
It's your first time on Earth too

When you pass through the waters, I'll be with you
Just 'cause I'm angry sometimes, don't mean I don't miss you
You had your issues and I had mine
Oh, I'd forgive you if we still had time
I was too young, I couldn't see
The world on your shoulders, you traded your dreams
For me, for us, is that just life?
Nobody ever gets everything right

It's your first time on Earth too (Oh-oh)
And I hope that you know
that I don't blame you (You know I don't blame you)
It's just pain that you were passing down
I'm older, and I see it now
It's your first time on Earth too
